Dash multiple upload reproduction
I can reproduce this issue with the attached minimal Dash app.
Environment:
I dropped three files at the same time, but the callback received only one:
filename count: 1
contents count: 1
Using the native file selection dialog and selecting the same three files works correctly.
I also confirmed the same behavior in a Django application running under WSL:
The minimal reproduction uses only dcc.Upload(multiple=True) and contains no Django or application-specific code.

Thanks for the example @SilberWilbrt
This worked in dash v3.4, but not dash v4.0 It looks like a regression introduced in #3481 when folder support was added.
